Sleeping in the Zed?

Ok, I just woke up from a little nap in the old Z. (I am on duty, everyone is in the field, so I sleepy) The Z is not a comfy car to sleep in, period. I am only 5 5 and I couldnt get comfy for the life of me. Who else here has had the joyof sleeping in the Z. I have duty every thursday for the rest of the month and I am really thinking about driving my Golf to work to sleep in, lol.

Ive slept in my Z and i was able to get comfortable as hell. Just had to put my feet through the midle of the seats with my head in the hatch area. Of course i had a small blanket and a tiny pillow but it was a road trip so go figure

ever try to sleep in a z31? ???? IT DON'T WORK!!!!! even an OLD vw is better for sleeping than a z31. good truck, tho----huge inside--best truck i ever owned--lousiest bed, most fun to drive.

my sleeping car is a 1975 dodge factory 4wd factory campconversion with aftermarket lift pkg--in downtown LA--drive to hospital, sleep from 0530-0645--show up@ work rested and ready and gorgeous, when everyone else looked worn out from the commute. and I only had to drive 130 miles--go figger--THAT's why Dog made Z's and Mr K

I wouldn't even attempt to sleep in the Z. I'd find a nice soft patch of dirt along side the road first. Of course ten or so years ago, if I had a Z, the wifey would be wakeing me up in the Z, parked in the driveway, after a long late night on the town.

ive slept in numerous cars, it really depends on the seats you have and the support of the foem that they have, mine is comfy, i could sit in it for days.

I though about how I could sleep in my 82 coupe...unless I curl up in the hatch some how then I am not sleeping in it. My 92 Camaro was another story...those seats folded damn near flat.

Im telling you guys, for the S130 all you have to do is put one seat forward and lie down with your head at the tail end of the hatch and put your feet through the midle. Comfortable as hell and im 6' and some change.

I did what Apollo suggests. I also slept a short while in the driver's seat... that wasn't quite as comfy but it worked.

don't know about the stock Z seats, but the 03 prelude seats in my Z are VERY comfy
...slept in the car quite a few times.

(they're only in there cause they were free, better condition, and better looking than the OEM seats...and more comfortable. Not because I'm some honda freak...IMO, I'd rather keep the OEM seats, but mine were jacked up really badly)
